1 The Chicago Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and W ill Counties. The "workers within scope of study" estimates provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other statistical series to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. All government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey.

3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimumlimitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade,finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as oneestablishment.

4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.

5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation are excluded. The local-transit system for the city of Chicago is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.

6 Separate data for this division are not presented in the A - and B -series tables, but the division is represented in the "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" estim ates.

7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
